Late Breaking News....Fire Station Fun!

News Channel 9 would like to announce that...... We had so much fun visiting Mr. Chris at Fire Station #8. Mr. Chris discussed fire safety rules and the importance of smoke detectors. He taught us that firemen are our friends and we should never hide from them if our house is on fire. He also taught us what to do if our clothes caught on fire. A special thank you to Michael for demonstrating Stop, Drop, & Roll.

Fireman Mr. Chris


I AM A FIREMAN

I am a fireman, not always dressed in red.

With my fire hat on my head.

I can drive the firetruck, fight fire too,

And help to make things safe for you.

We Couldn't Have Picked A Better Bunch!

It's Apple Picking Time

We have been studying a unit on apples. Soo… grab a basket and get ready to pick out your favorite apples. I hope none are rotten!
We’ve enjoyed several different types of apple activities. In math, we sorted our apples by color. We had more red apples brought to school, but when we graphed our favorite apple the green apple was our winner. We discovered that apples taste differently especially when there is a gummy worm on your plate. We wrote in our journals about apples. We completed three different apple art activities with the help of Mrs. Beard and Mrs. Lively. We would like to thank you ladies for volunteering in our room. We enjoyed having you and hope that you will come back soon!
On Friday, I showed a video from United Streaming that discussed about how apples grow, are harvested, and made into different things. Last, it talks about how the apples finally make it to us in the store. After watching the video we completed a KWL chart.
Ms. Phyllis visited the store to purchase apple juice and dried apples to make fried apple pies. They were delicious! Our room smelled wonderful!
We would like to say a special thank you to all of the parents that sent in apples to our room! We appreciate all that you do and donate.
